Nodemailer send emails using original user account instead of alias

Question

I have a problem with nodemailer where the user receive the email with sent from my google account which used to authenticate gmail instead of the alias used in mail options.

Below is my code:

var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: config.mailer.options.service,
    auth: {
        user: "[email protected]",
        pass: "password"
    }
});


var mailOptions = {
       to: user.email,
       from: 'Test Email <[email protected]>',
       subject: subject,
       html: emailHTML
};

smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions); Now when the user receive an email the email mentions that

from: Test Email [email protected]

Instead of showing

from: Test Email [email protected]

Any help please

you also need to configure the alias in your gmail account. I faced the same issue but after configuring alias in gmail it worked. check this link to configure https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en
